Does the Big Apple have a big heart?

During the last decade, the buzzword relating to tourism and experiences was “authentic”, overflowing to concepts like Couchsurfing, on the younger and cheaper side, and house-swapping clubs, on the more sophisticated side.

But the concept of what is “the real thing” changes from tourist to tourist. And people now look for more genuine experiences when traveling, getting to know the vibe of a destination without facing only the neatly choreographed experiences, having a grasp of a place not stripped of its true meaning.
